Trump reacted sharply to news of Pfizer's price hikes, proclaiming, "Pfizer & others should be ashamed that they have raised drug prices for no reason".

"We applaud Pfizer for this decision and hope other companies do the same", Trump, who is travelling in Europe, said in a tweet. Trump had promised to lower drug prices as part of his 2016 campaign, and he threatened to use the government's clout to negotiate lower prices. "Great news for the American people!" Trump, on Monday, tweeted said the company should be "ashamed" and vowed an unspecified response.

Pharmaceutical company shares rose after Trump unveiled his drug pricing blueprint and the administration has not yet taken serious action to lower prices. The drug maker referred to an "extensive discussion" with Trump and explained the deferral is taking place to give him "an opportunity to work on his blueprint to strengthen the health care system and provide more access for patients". The price decreases will remain in effect, according to Pfizer's Tuesday release.

No concrete steps were taken, but Trump predicted that the industry would respond anyway and that there would be "voluntary, massive drops in prices" within two weeks.

Dean Mastrojohn, a Pfizer spokesman, said the company's "price list remains unchanged for the majority of our medicines". But by Tuesday, the company's position changed, as it opted to scrap the increases until at least next year.
